Arkeia Physical Appliance users are individuals who can log in and perform

various backup tasks. Note that a “User” is the lowest grade of appliance users.

There are three user categories:

Arkeia Application Users are independent of system users at the OS level. To

add users, navigate to

Configure Users


4.2.3. Adding Clients
The appliance communicates over the LAN with clients. Clients are computers

that have the Arkeia Backup Agent software installed on them.

Before a client can be made known to the Arkeia Physical Appliance, forward

and reverse Name Resolution must be setup and verified via external DNS or

the Arkeia Physical Appliance and the Clients Host files.

1. Cross populate the "hosts" files on both the Arkeia Physical Appliance

and on the client machines.

Edit the “hosts” file of

the client machines to list the IP address, fully

qualified domain name (FQDN), and any alias for the Arkeia Physical

Appliance.
